i know everything i say has been mentioned but this is to reitterate. most of us learn through reading the threads as much as possible. i started on xda about two years ago but didn't make an account for the longest time just because all my questions were already answered. in fact if it weren't for XDA being the first google result for ALL of my winmo needs i probably wouldn't have joined. i learn quick and get to know screen names to watch for like stericson and jesusfreke. when i see posts by them i read the thread no matter what, along with several other names. and the first thing i do every day when i get on xda is look for people who "bricked" their phones. i figure if i read every single thread from someone thinking they have a brick i will at least know where to start looking if i mess something up(which i did daily at first and less as time goes on).

i think LucidREM hit the nail on the head, we are all geeks looking to use what we have to it's maximum potential, i have been semi-computer savvy since i was about 10(my first comp only ran DOS) and i didn't upgrade to a comp with a real GUI based OS until i was 18(Vista). so i knew a little about comps and what i didn't know i learned quickly when i switched to ubuntu 7.04 and i haven't looked back since. as far as some terms i saw most of the ones you mentioned as i read but i didn't see nandroid explained: it's a made up word we use to discribe the NAND backup of our android, basically it backs up every sector of your memory as is and when you put it back it will be as if nothing had ever happened
[G1 Android Development] bootleg16:
i agree with you man.

everyone starts of somewhere and no one is gonna come to you giving you all the answers. you have to do some research yourself. i first joined back in 2007 when i got my Tmobile Dash. i tried cooking a rom and i didnt know wtf hard spl was until some of the mods helped me and from then i just kept bricking my phone and couldnt figure out how to unbrick it until eventually i would try different stuff just to brick it on purpose and unbrick it because it was so fun...lol

well any questions you have man just asks us. or the mods.
[G1 Android Development] .PaNiNi.:
I think its different for everyone how they learned, some people have taken courses for the knowledge and some just learn as they go. As for me, I just mess things up and like to fix them LOL. I think I have "broke" my phone in several different ways and fixed it several different ways and thats how I learned! Not to mention, like some1 stated earlier, if you see certain things over and over you begin to learn them slowly but surely. Keep the faith and dont give up! you will get it :-)
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
Well it looks like the constant here is practice, practice and more practice. I suppose Ill go for nandroid today, sd partition tomorrow. I wouldnt know what to do if the phone bricks or loops but hey If I break it I break it....

and it looks like theres some help in this forum anyway :)
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
I'm still a noobie at this, but I've managed to flash a bunch of other builds to my phone, just by reading, reading, reading, saving relevant information to my computer so i could find it easily, and trying to learn things like ADB so I'll know how to use it when I need it.

I was really proud of myself when someone on the T-Mo forums PMed me and said he'd bricked his phone. What could he do!!!

Just by finding out what he was seeing on his phone and typing all of it into the search boxes on this forum, I got him all the way from him thinking he had a bricked phone, to him now running JF1.5 with apps to SD.

I did buy a pocket linux commands book, and a java programming book a couple of weeks ago, so now I can see at a glance what commands I've never seen before on here mean, and I'm planning on learning some programming.

My computer experience started with a TI994A computer, which IMO was a remarkable little machine back in the old days. I used to type in games from a magazine, then go through them line by line (basic), and change things to make the games more interesting. I even wrote some simple programs myself. The TI was pretty cool, it had a trace feature so you could see where you went wrong. The later computers I had, like the Commodore 64 would just lock up when you screwed up.

When I finally got a Windoze 95 machine, it came with a bunch of defective chips, and a terribly crippled OS. (We won a class action lawsuit, and all owners of that model got something like $25 out of it). Anyway, I ended up pushing that stupid machine to the limit, by reading books and trying to make it exactly the way I wanted it. (registry hacks, even bios hacks).

When I got my second computer, it was a top of the line HP. I pushed that to the limit too, but I got lazy with it, because for about three years, it did everything I needed. Then I ugraded everything I could, and used it very well for another three years.

I built my latest computer. It's a gaming machine with blue LEDs, and looks like a metallic blue and chrome robot. Most people say what is that!!!!???? when they see it!

Anyway, I never took any classes, I just read voraciously, save whole pages that I think I will need to refer to into a folder, try things to make sure I know how to do them, and read some more.

Like someone here said, if you read the same answer here enough times, it will stick!
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
I like your style I'm going to lool into command books. since getting this phone I've become very interested but coming here for flashes has exposd me to an overwhelming amount of unfamliar information...a little intimidating
[G1 Android Development] skri11a:
Hey DMaverick50, your post inspired me to write up a basics post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=513061

Let me know if it helps you at all or if you think it could include other information.
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
I skimmed thru that post and I must say...VERY NICE!!! I wish I had that available when I started.

At any rate, one more advice: don't stop if you find an answer, write it down and look for it in another thread... or may be in another forum altoghether. Write both down and compare, sometimes there are different ways of approaching something or one thread would be more explanatory then the other. I cross-referenced 3 threads on 2 different forums before I figured out how to root my phone.

Good luck
[G1 Android Development] rigamrts:
learning curve

I learned how to do this in 20 mins not to brag it's not that hard to do with the root hack guide on the 1st page it a great guide it just misses one part.

CD /system/bin

CAT SH > SU

CHMOD 4755 SU

That method works just fine all the others are just more complicated ways to do the same thing no need to use adb or fastboot just mount the card to your pc paste the file on your sd card then install the update. There nothing special adb or fastboot does other than make you use the command line to force copy the file over to the sdcard. The adb and fastboot way are just more geeky ways to do it kinda like bragging that I found a more complicated way to type CMD in the run window on windows.

Nothing to see here folks.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:

Hey man I really like where this is going, already feeling more comfortable with those terms...
[Touch CDMA General] qanda6900:
My Sprint HTC 6900 comes out of sleep mode by itself. This is very annoying since it will do it in the case. It has opened apps, and even dialed from the contact list.

I have seen it come out of sleep mode just sitting on a table.

Any ideas? Soft reset did not fix the problem either. As for as when in the case: I have reduced the screen touch sensitivity and turned the phone around so it faces away from the body. This seems to have stopped the phone from starting apps, but it still jumps out of sleep mode.

PPC Geeks still has not posted any solution, only others with same problem.

Thanks

every WM phone i have had does it, i've noticed it seems to happen when the internet switches from EVDO to 1X, the only cure i have found so far its either using the built in Lock

or Slide to unlock

ok, so i was trying to install an older version of hello im (for some reason the newer ones dont work) from my sd card and i keep getting a message saying im out of space and to make room. I have all cache and apps on my sd and and have 73mb free on my phone and should have plenty left of my 1gig ext2 partion. anyone have any idea what the problem is?

note:

i have done this in the past with no problems. before and after cupcake.
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Yeah sorry I dont have an answer but I am actually having this prob myself. Not with installing apps but when trying to download stuff using the browser, I get unsuccessful and it says not enough space. I cant figure out what it is reading b/c I also have Apps 2 a 700mb EXT2 and all cache on SD with plenty of internal memory. Would love to see an answer to this.

I saw something similar myself when trying to install something, and I knew I had enough space. I was using Astro. Any chance you two were as well?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] petard:
It is annoying when you have little or no signal and you send an SMS only to get an unable to send SMS notification. It would be great if it could auto retry (AND get rid of the draft when the SMS is successfully sent).

Is there such a program? Couldn't find one on google or here.

Could someone make one?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rexboy:
Not sure with the standard messaging features but add ons like Vito SMS chat have this feature (resend) rather than searching through draft folders like you said.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Deosneos:
I would like to bump this thread again. This can be a real annoyance and I can't imagine a skilled developer would take long to write an app to do this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] abat:
I completely support the statement that this is super annoying. Can't imagine why noone has tackled the issue so far.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] newrad67:
I think many would appreciate this to be done..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
so the app should always be running in the background?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] newrad67:
Maybe integrated to the WIndows default SMS application?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
i think the app should monitor if a new sms is moved to the drafts folder
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] newrad67:
But this would send even the messages you intended to move to drafts folder. like messages you intended to send later. but if it is not possible for now to integrate to the existing default sms app, i think this is an option. BTW i know you can do this oldsap, ive been using some of your apps since way back to the SAP era. thanks for that. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] equinox2355:
I recently have found that to have a rom fit for my needs and to work properly with my exchange server settings, etc. that I need to rebuild roms (easier than starting from scratch). I am not planning on re-distributing them, they are mainly for my use, and others that use a specific exchange server setup like I do.

Anyway onto my main question:

Using the different tools I have found through Google and xda-developers, I have started to extract the radio nb file so that I can build a new NBH with the radio and the rom. I have also toyed with the idea to do the SPL into the NBH so that I don't have to worry if it has been flashed or not. I also will be flashing the roms from my microsd card (which I have been doing with my modified rom already).

Thank you in advance! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Arktronic:
Putting an OS and a radio in a single NBH is perfectly acceptable. However, I don't think you can include Hard-SPL in there because it is flashed through SSPL, and it should really be the only thing flashed in that manner.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] equinox2355:
Got it, thanks for the quick reply too!

I noticed your signature, and saw that you have the rilphoneauto. I see an EXT and OEM type file, but I am only familiar with cooking in cabs and making minor entries. I wouldn't know where to begin to add in an OEM or EXT to the roms that I modify/re-cook.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Arktronic:
They're basically directories with a slightly varied structure that you put in an appropriate kitchen directory and then select inside the kitchen UI. If you're using the new "visual" kitchen, you should use the EXT package; otherwise the OEM. There are tutorials all over the forums explaining how to use them. I'm probably not the best person to do it anyway since I've only been cooking for a little while ;)

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] inspiritmedia:
If you can solder it's easy to make one, but you're going to need an htc plug, not usb. It's proprietary and you need the wires, or you might be able to rewire the mini-usb but I haven't tried.

Email me from inspiritmedia dot com contact page. I already have one of these made from my 8525 that works.

I want to make my own apps,

What SDK do I download and install for 1.5 software.

Please if someone could link me to it and show me what to do I'd love it. Thanks..

Also, Do i need to have a certain kind of phone to upload apps?
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Required: Android SDK 1.5_r1

Required*: Eclipse IDE for Java

Optional: Ubuntu

Eclipse is not technically required, but if you don't use an IDE you will have to set up your own toolchain. Ubuntu is optional, but it is the Android team's operating system of choice. There are also some tasks easier performed in Ubuntu than Windows (creating a ext2/3 partition for example).

No special phone is required for developing apps. Even an unmodified G1 is perfectly fine.
